As you can imagine, in my business you get to hear a lot of speeches. I have heard some really good ones and some which were, hmm how do we put this nicely – answers on a postcard please, or perhaps a comment. Additionally I have been to some weddings where one or other of the main speakers have not done so. Please, I am no authority on speeches; I just know what I enjoy and what I don’t. I would suggest keep it short and sweet, but not too short. Somewhere around 5 – 15 mins I reckon is about right. Ok so I very much enjoyed Stephen Moffat (a well known writer for DR Who) delivered the best speech I heard from a best man. His keynote was… oh no, sorry I could not divulge the content ☺ But it really was good! Now his speech was nearly 45 mins and I would certainly not recommend that long. The other thing I would suggest is that I know the web is a great source of material; please bear in mind that your guests may have heard it before. The temptation to give out bingo style cards for the standard lines is always something I have thought about. The idea being that if you get more than 10 standard one liners those who participate stage a Mexican wave. Ok maybe not such a good idea but it might make for an interesting part of the video! Well for a more informed view on wedding speeches, I will get a speech writer to guest blog for me soon – Watch this space! Jay
